CONSTITUTION. 



Whereas, It is the duty of every man engaged in business to encourage 

 his trade, and protect it in such a way that it may yield to him a fair share 

 of profit; and whereas, the interest of every branch of business may be best 

 promoted and protected by a union of effort on the part of those engaged 

 in it, therefore, we, the cider and cider vinegar makers and manufact- 

 urers of fruit products and sorghum, of Michigan, believing that such an 

 organization will jDrove beneficial, hereby unite ourselves in an association, 

 to be governed by the following constitution and by-laws.
